About This Spot
Silver Point is a shallow lagoon system in the Bahamas with a northeast-facing coastline protected by a barrier beach. The spot features extensive mangrove channels and residential development adjacent to natural conservation areas. Water conditions are characteristically choppy with minimal wave energy, suitable only for flat-water kitesurfing practice. Average wind speeds of 8.5 knots are marginal for kitesurfing, and the 13.5% wind reliability indicates inconsistent conditions. The lagoon environment provides protected, shallow water ideal for beginners learning body control and trick practice, but inadequate for wave riding or freestyle progression. Best wind direction is southeast (135°), providing side-shore conditions parallel to the beach. Water depth varies significantly due to sandbars and channels, requiring local knowledge for navigation. This spot suits absolute beginners in light wind conditions and those seeking protected practice areas. Wind-dependent days are frequent, making timing essential. The proximity to residential areas and navigation channels demands respect for local boundaries and awareness of shallow water hazards.
